Stratocaster Blender mod - The best Stratocaster mod?

The stratocaster blender mod gives you 7 sounds from your strat which is why it's often referred to as the 7-way mod or 7-sound mod. You get the standard 5 positions then Neck & Bridge together and all 3 pickups together. In reality you actually get more sounds than that as you can blend either the neck or bridge into those 2 new sounds.

The Strat blender mod can be done without buying anything extra for your guitar but I personally do it using a 250k no-load pot instead of the second tone pot (nearest the edge of the guitar). this leaves the volume as a master volume and the tone as a master tone.

This Stratocaster mod makes your Fender Stratocaster or Squier Stratocaster just that bit more versatile as you can dial in the neck pickup when you're playing on the bridge or dial in the bridge pickup when you're on the neck settings. You're even able to have all 3 pickups of your Stratocaster on at the same time in positions 2 and 4.

This is a great easy mod you can do to any stratocaster. I've currently got this on my Squier Affinity Stratocaster but would also love it on my Fender Player Telecaster. it doesn't take long to do and it's one of the best Stratocaster mods.

Other great Stratocaster mods include having the pickups wired in series like a humbucker and adding an out of phase setting. If there are comments requesting these Stratocaster mods then I'll make a video on them in the future.

Could this be the best Stratocaster mod? In my opinions it's one of the easiest and most effective Strat mods so yes. In fact it's the only mod I currently have on any of my Stratocasters.
